    Q
    How can we stop Daddy Long Legs insects from coming into our house? 16 so far. We have children & pets
    A

    We would recommend using Cyper WP. This can be sprayed around the baseboards and cracks and crevices indoors. Outdoors, you will spray around the perimeter of your home. You will use two scoops per gallon of water. This is residual product and will work for up to 3 months indoors and 30 days outdoors. It can leave a powdery residue because it is a wettable powder. Once Cyper WP is dry, it is safe for pets and children to come into the rooms that were sprayed.

    If you are wanting something that will dry clear, we would recommend using Suspend SC. You will use this around the cracks and crevices indoors and around the perimeter outdoors. You will use 0.75-1.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water. Once Suspend SC is dry, it is safe for children and pets to return to the area.

    Both of these products will kill and keep killing the spiders.

    Q
    What is the best product to use to get rid of German roaches. I would prefer a spray.
    A
    We really recommend using more than one product to eraciate roaches.  You could our German Roach kit. The German Roach Control Kit is perfect for roach control problems in homes, apartments, and similar small treatment areas. This kit is designed specifically to treat infestations that have been Identified as German Roaches but it will treat other common roaches, as well.

    Q
    Caterpillar infestation on my evergreen and rose bushes
    I have sprayed Sevin concentrate 2 days in a row and my bushes are still filled with them. Help
    A
    Suspend SC is labeled for Caterpillars. Directly spray the plant foliage and nest. The larvae are usually easy to contact if spraying is done in late morning when the larvae congregate on the tent surface to warm in the sun. Mechanical control is also helpful with this pest. The egg masses are easy to spot after the leaves have dropped in the fall. Simply clip off and crush or drop into a bucket of soapy water.

    Q
    Living in CT and live Suspend SC
    I bought this product when living in NC but have moved to CT. It says this cannot be shipped to CT. Is there another comparable product that kills ticks as effectively? I would like one exactly like Suspend SC
    A
    Fenvastar EcoCap would be a great product to consider. It works just as well as Suspend but can be shipped to CT.

    Q
    What is the best treatment for Black Carpet beetles?
    Can whatever you recommend be vacuumed by a regular vacuum with a filter? I have read that some treatments cannot be vacuumed by a filter vac as it will burn it out.
    A

    Vacuuming is just as important to carpet beetle elimination as it is to prevention. While liquid and dust insecticides may successfully kill off the adult and larvae stages, they can not kill eggs and pupae. Vacuuming is an effective way to kill these hard-to-eliminate life stages of carpet beetles. When vacuuming, be sure to do so every couple of days while you work your elimination plan. Vacuum over carpeted areas several times and use attachments as need to cover furniture and draperies. Eggs may be hiding in these places as well. Even if you do not reach every egg and pupae with the vacuum, don't worry. Your odorless insecticide such as Suspend SC will still be working, and eventually there will be no more surviving adults to lay more eggs and you will see the end of your problem! You could also apply Drione Dust using a hand duster only after Suspend SC has application had completely dried. Dust should be applied with a hand duster into all cracks and crevices where the spray cannot penetrate. This birth control for insects can be added directly to your liquid insecticide solution (Suspend SC) in the sprayer before spraying. That way you will apply two insecticides at once. While Suspend kills the adult carpet beetles, the Gentrol IGR will kill off the larvae so they are unable to fully develop.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used 50-75 ft from beehives?
    A

    Suspend SC could be used but if the bees contact a treated surface they will be harmed by the product.  Care should be taken to avoid overspray/drift from contacting the hives as well as applying to plants/flowers that the bees would contact.

    Q
    What is the fish pond impact of spraying Suspend SC?
    We have a fish pond about 10 feet from the house. Once we spray around the house, could this impact the fish?
    A

    Suspend SC does have toxicity to aquatic life, so you want to be sure that runoff or drift does not enter the fish pond. We would recommend spraying when rainfall is not expected within at least 24 hours. You could also consider a product near the pond that does not have aquatic toxicity such as EcoVia EC

    06/03/2016
    Q
    How much Suspend SC would I need to apply to approx 320 feet?
    And what depth do I need to apply it? What do I do when I come to the drive way?
    A

    You should mix .25-1.5 fl oz (depending on the targeted insect-they are listed on the label) of Suspend SC per one gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft and treat the areas surrounding the driveway but not directly on the driveway. You will apply the product to areas listed on the product label only. Suspend SC should not be used to treat termites. Please see our Termite Treatment Guide for this pest.

    Q
    How do I treat for fleas outdoors with Suspend SC?
    Can i spray it every day? or Weekly at the start?
    A

    Suspend SC is only labeled to be applied every 21-30 days outdoors.  To treat for fleas outdoors, you will mix 1.5 fluid ounces per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.  We strongly recommend that you also add an insect growth regulator (IGR) to the mix to impede their reproduction. Pivot 10 would be a great choice.  Please take a look at our Outdoor Flea Control Guide for more tips on treating and preventing fleas.

    Q
    How much square footage will a gallon of suspend SC effectively treat?
    A

    Depending on the mix rate you are needing for Suspend SC, the amount of finished solution coverage will vary.

    1 Pint (16 oz.) of Suspend SC concentrate yields 10-64 gallons of finished solution, depending on mixing rate used. 1 Gallon (128 oz) of concentrate yields 85 to over 500 gallons of finished solution.  One gallon of finished solution should cover approximately 1,000 square feet.

    Please check the product label for the pest you are treating for specific dilution rates.

  • Asked by Johnnie from Vacaville
    05/21/2017
    Q
    Will Suspend SC work on oriental cockroaches that are outside mostly?
    A

    Yes,Suspend SC is labeled for roaches, and should do a great job helping you eliminate the infestation. We recommend that in addition to a concentrated liquid insecticide like Suspend SC you also use a high quality roach bait gel  to help get the roaches that hide in places where you cannot spray (cabinets, counter tops, drawers) as well as an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol Point Source to help stop the breeding cycle of the roaches if found indoors. Suspend SC is a residual which means it will not be a contact kill for the roaches. It could kill a roach within a few hours or within a day depending on how healthy the roach is, and how long it spent on a surface that was treated with Suspend. The spray will typically last indoors 90 days and outdoors 30 days, but for an active infestation you would want to retreat every 30 days indoors until the colony is eliminated.

  • Asked by Robin from Newport News, Va

    Q
    How much Suspend SC to use in 2 gallon sprayer for residential bedbugs?
    A

    Suspend SC will kill most strains of bed bugs. However, we do not recommend Suspend any longer. There are resistant strains of bed bugs Suspend will not kill. We recommend using Temprid SC, because it will treat pyrethroid resistantbed bugs and using double killing power of two different active ingredients. Temprid SC also has a very broad application label. Please take a moment to look at our  bed bug kits which have many products that are considered the top bed bug control products. Our kits also come with full instructions.  They have a very high success rate with our customers and your best chance of eliminating a bed bug infestation.
